Reflections on The Weavers

We were not made to walk in isolation but, in fact, long for companions who can share

with us this journey of the soul.
We find or create a community of companions who will join us as we explore and
expand our experience of the sacred.
We each long for a container that will receive us in our truth
and support us as we grapple with the mysteries of life and God.
We see a circle that will support us as we reach out in service, knowing our efforts
are amplified when joined with other hearts and hands. When these communities are
energizing, compassionate and inclusive,
they reflect the expansive heart of the Holy One who holds us all.
We have experienced the power of community when we have shared resources
and gifts in various groups, some perhaps quite structured, others loosely woven.
As we seek a faith-community, we long for others who will embrace
the deep soul-space within, joining us on the spiritual path. We gather together
in our churches, synagogues, mosques, and homes so that we might explore and
implore the mystery we so long to mirror. We hunger for a communal expression
of joy and celebration, pain and loss, believing and knowing,
that gathered together we are given the gifts of strength, courage
and compassion to live and act in love.

"There is almost a sensual longing for communion with others who have a large vision.

The immense fulfillment of the friendship between those engaged in furthering the

evolution of consciousness has a quality impossible to describe."

- - Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Community
Somewhere, there are people
to whom we can speak with passion
without having the words catch in our throats.
Somewhere a circle of hands will open to receive us,
eyes will light up light up as we enter, voices will celebrate with us
whenever we come into our own power.
Community means strength that joins our strength
to do the work that needs to be done.
Arms to hold us when we falter.
A circle of healing. A circle of friends.
